SFC After SIGGRAPH: 3D AI, XR & World Models
About the Event
Spatial Frontier Club is bringing the SIGGRAPH conversation back to the Bay Area.
This gathering is designed for people who either missed SIGGRAPH 2026 or just returned with new ideas, questions, and perspectives to share.
As AI, computer graphics, XR, world models, VFX, and spatial computing continue to converge, we’ll explore what stood out at this year’s conference—and what these signals may mean for the next generation of creative tools and intelligent systems.
Rather than a formal conference session, the evening will combine short technical talks, open discussion, and networking. Speakers will share firsthand takeaways from SIGGRAPH, recent work, and perspectives on where the field is heading next.
Whether you attended SIGGRAPH or followed from afar, join us to compare notes and continue the conversation in San Francisco.
